Motion 4 export completely takes over CPU

Every time I export from Motion 4 my computer becomes unusable.  It doesn't crash, but I can't even switch applications.  And when it has finished exporting it never seems to return to normality, and I end up rebooting to start afresh.  I don't have this problem while exporting from After Effects, or from Final Cut Pro.  These apps might slow things down a bit, but they don't make all other processes grind to a complete halt.
Anyone any idea why this should be, and if there is a solution.
Thanks, KP

Yes, I am using the current project and canvas settings.  And yes, it is a 1080p25 project, and I am exporting to ProRes 4444 (with alpha channel).  But the point is that, even if it takes time to render, it shouldn't hijack the CPU to do it!  I've done exports from a heavily composited After Effects project with all sorts of effects and serious amounts of blur, that takes a minute to render one frame: but I can still work quite happily in other applications (at least, ones that do not themselves require heavy processing). 
No, Motion is definitely not set up to play properly with other elements of the operating system.

  • IChat takes over cpu

    is it normal that when i run a videochat, ichat takes up about 130% of my cpu... how can it go over 100? if ichat is just idle it can go down to 0% but as soon as the video chat starts it spikes and makes my computer very choppy and makes the videochat close to impossible. i have a late 2007 white macbook , processor 2.16 core 2 duo, 4 gb 667mhz ddr2 ram (however it only recognizes 3gb), and im running snow leopard, however the problem also existed with leopard, i dont remember if it was the same with tiger. anyone know what can be happening?

    nothing, i took it to the apple store and the guy opened it and immediately said i had to send it in, only half my screen refreshed when he woke it from sleep, he couldtn really tell me what was wrong. i also had a problem for a couple of days on safari, when i clicked on a website from the top sites menu it would load as a bunch of colored stripes and then switch to the website. that got randomly fixed today. cant really stream any video online anymore so i think theres something wrong with the cpu/gpu , not sure.

    How can i fix this problem, can't call anyone because all they have is MORE READING!!! And NO HUMAN CONTACT!
    YOU SUCK ADOBE!!!

    NObody is orced to download Acrobat. Still, you did, you had your trial, and now it's finished. If you don't want to buy it, just uninstall it the normal way (but DONT) just delete it, ask if you don't know how to uninstall. Once it is gone, you might have to repair Adobe Readet. So, be angry but understand you had a choice of what to download. It would help you if you remember the full names of products, there is nothing called Adobe XI.

  • Lightroom CC takes 98% cpu and 3,5gb memory when exporting

    Lightroom CC takes 100% cpu and 3,5gb memory when exporting

    Also, I had pretty silly GUI lag, which seems to have gone away by turning OFF GPU-acceleration...

  • Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects?

    Why is Premiere Pro telling me it will take over 24 hours to export a 55-second clip with no audio or effects? It's never done this before, but this is driving me nuts. I'm almost finished with this project, I can't have this kind of stuff happening now.

    Forgive me. I'm just stressing hardcore at the moment.
    Specs:
    OS X 10.9.4
    2.8 GHz intel
    Premiere 5.5
    exporting cell phone video which has been treated with effects and layered with other clips from cell phone video, then nested as one single video clip, now trying to export as H.264 (DV 24fps)
    Full disclosure: I am an amateur so if you need more info just tell me and I'll produce it if I can. I should note though, I've done this before with no problem. However the settings may have been different (still getting the hang of the whole 'settings' thing, to be honest). It's very possible that the problem in this case is the operator, in other words.

  • Trying to restore my iPhone 5 from a backup but its says that it will take over 24 hours to finish. Is there something I can try to do to speed this up? I feel like it shouldn't take this long

    So I have been restoring my iPhone5 from a backup for about 3 hours now however iTunes still says that it is going to take over 24 hours to complete the restore process and the progress bar hasn't moved much at all. I feel like something has gone wrong somehow and it shouldn't take this long to complete. Is there something I can do to speed up this process or do I just have to try to wait it out? I'm scared to just unplug my phone and try again since it might screw something up.

    if u unplug then that could put ur device into recovery mode. i would wait

  • Documents take over 30 seconds to render and also require Function F5 to refresh

    We have a four page document, 2 pages in Spanish and 2 pages in English that takes over 30 seconds to render. We have put a 30 second counter in so the user doesn't keep pressing F5 over and over. The document will display after the 30 seconds when F5 is pressed. Another aspect related to this is the fact that our input folder stacks up and pdf files cannot be deleted if they were not rendered.
    What is causing this issue in version 8.2 and how can I resolve the issue?

  • JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start

    Hi,
    I have windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK 1.7. My jDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start, even the previous versions took similar long time. I have McAfee running on my system and have 8 GB RAM and more than 100 GB HDD on my C drive. I tried playing with the tuning parameters as mentioned in few blogs, but nothing seems to help.
    Please help.

    Indeed, McAfee caches what it has previously scanned. I've had different versions of McAfee where this has been, and hasen't been a problem.
    It's pretty easy to tell on Windows if McAfee is the culprit. Open the Task Manager and watch is McAfee active (consuming CPU) during the whole process of opening JDev.
    If so you're going to have to work with your IT department to get exemptions for JDev put in place if it is.

  • After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up

    I updated iTunes to 10.6.3.25 a couple of days ago to the latest version, and now it takes over 30 minutes to load.  I click the iTunes icon on my desktop and get the mouse spinner for about 2 seconds, then it disappears.  During that time, I can see in task manager that iTunes.exe using the about 25% of my CPU (i3 550) and over 100,000k of my 8GB of RAM.  After it finally loads, I plug in my iPod and iTunes gives no indication that it sees it at all.  Windows sees it, but iTunes doesn't.  My question is, what can I do to fix this?  I've already went into programs & features and went to changes and hit repair on each of the apple programs I have on my computer and that changed nothing, and I also tried this.
    tl;dr iTunes takes forever to load and iPod doesn't show up in iTunes

    UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

  • Print to Video takes over monitor

    I recently started to back up all my videos on to DV tapes. When I print to tape my monitor mirrors the playback. My DV deck has a monitor connected so i can see playback there and don't want my Mac taken over by the export. I found a setting in the "Audio/Video Settings" under the Final Cut Pro tab that allows me to turn off mirroring, but the screen still goes black. I've also hooked up a second monitor in hopes that the mirroring output would take over that screen, but no. So if anyone could direct me to some settings that I could switch this, your awsome. I'm using Final Cut Pro 6.0.1

    How do I make the print to video faster with these options checked?
    OK...I am biting my tongue
    If I have to insert the color bars and slate into the timeline, how do I get the conventional color bars footage with hight pitch sound without recapturing one of the dubs?
    Bithing myth thongue.
    In your case printing to video doesn't take longer with the slate checked?
    It is beginning to bleed....
    How do you drag your sequence from the browser to the print to video video?
    Oww....
    Pat is talking about the EDIT TO TAPE window. Print to video doesn't have this option. And if you are trying to deliver a tape for broadcast, and you are NOT using edit to tape and are using Print to Video instead...how on earth are you getting proper timecode on this tape? Because bars and tone typically start at 58:30:00...go for a minute...then black for a few seconds...then a slate with program info...then more plack (perhaps a countdown)...then show starts at 1:00:00:00 on the nose. What are you doing?
    And seriously...adding bars and tone means outputting takes longer? Uhhh, YEAH. If you add 60 seconds of footage to your timeline, the duration increases by 60 seconds. That is typically how things work. Adding bars, tone, black and a slate should add about 2 minutes to your cut. because you need 30 seconds of black BEFORE the bars and tone too...typically. Export faster? No...can't output faster than real time.
    How do you get BARS & TONE without recapturing? In the Viewer, below where you look at your footage, there is a drop down menu with the letter "A." Click on that and you will see BARS AND TONE for a variety of footage formats.

  • I've received a new Ipod and after installing Itunes it takes over my PC's processor. I tunes and Applemobiledevice software are the two offending items.

    As an pod newbie I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've installed itunes directly from the Apple website, but it takes over my system resources completely. I can get it to see my Ipod, but the sync option is greyed out in the menu.
    Surely Itunes and Applemobiledevice cannot be that system hungry. My PC is unusable with itunes running.
    I've made sure windows is up to date and I've uninstalled & re-installed itunes - all to no effect.
    Help please!

  • Preparing a new SSD to take over as main boot drive

    Hi,
    I've just installed a new SSD in my 2011 Mac mini, and my aim is to make sure I set it up properly first time around to take over boot duties from the default 500GB HDD.  The SSD is currently completely blank, without even a partition scheme.
    I ran:
    diskutil list
    in the Terminal and noticed that the 500GB HDD has 5 partitions:
    1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB 
    2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            80.0 GB  
    3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB 
    4:                  Apple_HFS Internal Storage        337.8 GB 
    5:       Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP                81.2 GB  
    If the SSD is going to take over the main duties of the 500GB HDD, it looks like I'm going to have to endow it with the following partitions:
    1:                        EFI                        
    2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD          
    3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD            
    I'm not sure how to properly go about giving the new SSD the EFI partition or Recovery HD.  The main OS I can clone quite easily with Carbon Copy Cloner, however.  Can someone advise?
    The second thing is that I want to encrypt the new OS partition.  I've done this before on another drive, and follow the less-common (though equally supported method) of encrypting the new volume as HFS (Encrypted) before copying the old OS onto it.  The main bonus of this on an SSD is that it doesn't interfere with the SSD's drive maintenance routines; copying the OS onto an unencrypted volume and then turning on FileVault 2, on the other hand, does.  The other benefit is that I have a unique boot password that takes me to the Login screen, as opposed to using a user's password that then boots me straight into that user's account.
    The problem is that I want to use Boot Camp later, but I don't know how that works if the main OS X partition is encrypted.  Can the Boot Camp Assistant still shrink the drive and create the Windows partition as needed?
    In the end, the plan is to have the following:
    SSD:
    1:          EFI
    2:          Boot Recovery HD
    3:          OS X (HFS Encrypted)
    4:          Windows 7 (NTFS)
    HDD:
    1:          Windows Swap (NTFS)
    2:          OS X Extra Storage (HFS)
    Thanks!

    I think the easy (maybe only) way to get the recovery partition is to format as a single partition, and install (Mountain) Lion on it.
    Here is what I plan to do in a similar situation (MBP in my case), except that I DON'T want to encrypt - I am not sure how that would fit in the plan, but here goes:
    1) partition SSD as one partition, GUID partition table;
    2) install ML; in the appropriate step of the installation, select "I want to transfer from another mac or hard disk";
    3) when prompted, select the internal HD as the source to import from. This will Migrate everything, or maybe just users and documents (I haven't decided yet)
    4) use Bootcamp assistant to create the win partition and subsequently install win 7  (this one I probably won't do, but I am not sure)
    5) Reformat the HD as desired
